Revision of route?

Hi John
You might look into CBF1629 HKJK-EDDF
Dep: 00:50
Arr: 09:45
That's 8h55min
Normally the indicated Dep/Arr times are pretty close, but in this particular instance, I think the might be a typo?
It would be more proper if you deducted an hour so Arr: 08:45 instead.
That way one wouldn't calculate too much fuel...
I calculated with 69.000 kg's (7000*9) + 6000 reserve where 62.000 would have been more than enough (7000*8)+6000 reserve
Actually I burnt approx 48.100 on the trip in 7h:30min std. flow ... arrived way too early, and there wasn't any extraordinary winds....
Well all-in all it could have been a profitable trip (fuel is cheap in Nairobi), but instead I lost a couple of millions....
Something to consider...
